BME Ph.D. Defense: Structure and Function of Active Nematic Liquid Crystal Order in Brain Tumors Abstract: Glioblastomas (GBM) are the most common adult brain tumors, characterized by rapid invasion into the normal brain and therapeutic resistance. Our lab previously demonstrated that GBM tumors exhibit self-organized, nematically aligned, multicellular structures, termed “oncostreams,” that influence tumor invasion and malignancy. Oncostreams are regulated by collagen fibers and downregulation…

The Long Game: How Federal Funding Turned a Scientific Idea into Clinical Hope-By Kate Barnes
Before she began her first professorship at the University of Manchester in England, Dr. Maria Castro had focused most of her work on neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease. But after meeting different colleagues and exploring other focus areas, brain cancer became a new field of interest. She was quickly immersed in the world of cancer progression and novel therapeutics. “At the time, no one…
